On Friday 22 July, thousands of activists from 14 different countries worldwide will come together to raise awareness of the human rights abuses occurring in Gambia, in a Global Day of Action.

The global demonstrations coincide with a national holiday in Gambia called ‘Freedom Day.’ The current Gambian president Yahya Jammeh created the holiday to commemorate the day he assumed power in 1994.
